2. Complete the team ladder from 1 to 5: make 1 in a row, then 2 in a row, up to 5 in a row.
3. Set a time limit

Coaching Points

• Use the same routine every shot
• Treat every shot like it counts

Variations

• Add resets rules, e.g.:
• after 3 misses in a row, go back to 0.
• after a miss at 0, go back to the previous step on the ladder.
